"...wash yourself of yourself" uses real-time spectral analysis to create timbres by both subtractive and additive synthesis. These timbres imitate the original sounds as well as the combination tones our brains create when hearing these sounds. The piece also uses real-time spectral analyses to create statistically transforming clouds of microtonal piano samples. Both of these techniques aim to provide the listener with methods to explore his or her own listening.
"...wash yourself of yourself" presents these techniques in an open and structured improvisational manner. The title comes from the line in a poem by Rumi, "Be melting snow, wash yourself of yourself." Following this line, the work reflects an attempt by the composer to totally formalize and remove any unintentional mannerisms from his music.
